I Am Home
The extra part 8

Reni was sitting limp on the sofa, the scar of the father's slap was clearly imprinted on her white cheek, the pain left behind seemed to be compared with the pain in his heart that he was currently feeling, Dimas had just left after scolding himself completely in front of his own two parents, he said, even Dimas canceled their wedding plans that were in sight.

"I told you there's no apology for the betrayal, can't you remember that huh!" dimas said in a high tone while throwing some photos onto Reni's face, Reni picked it up, she was surprised to see herself and Aldo hugging in the photo, there is even a photo that shows Aldo kissing his cheek.

"I can explain dear, please listen to my explanation" Tears flowed profusely soaking into Reni's face.

"Shut your mouth!" Dimas pointed at Reni's face "Never call me that call again".

Reni shook her head weakly.

"Sorry, give me some time to explain everything" Reni asked.

Reni did meet Aldo, rather Aldo forced Reni to meet, Reni was initially reluctant but Aldo came to his house and immediately took Reni away, after seeing the photo that Dimas brought makes Reni sure if Aldo trapped him.

"I don't need your explanation" hardik Dimas.

Dimas stared at Reni's father who was sitting without being able to defend his son at all, because all the evidence was clearly given Dimas.

"Father forgive Dimas, Dimas can not continue this wedding" Dimas said in a loud voice.

Reni immediately knelt in front of Dimas while holding tightly to Dimas's feet, how could a marriage that was just counting the days arrived be void because of a misunderstanding.

"I beg you to listen to me, I beg you to withdraw your words, did you forget your promise when you asked me to be your wife Dim?"

"Fuck it all" Maki Dimas.

"Didn't you remember all my sacrifices Dim, until we were at this point".

"Ck... lk... ck..." Dimas clucked in annoyance.

Reni had just forgotten one thing, never argue with Dimas if he was angry, let alone his anger because of Reni's mistake.

"I'll make up for all the losses on your sacrifice" said Dimas, he immediately removed his engagement ring, then threw it at Reni.

Dimas threw Reni's hand violently, he immediately came out of the house without turning his head even though Reni kept shouting to call his name.

Reni's mother could only cry bitterly lamenting the fate of her only child, she did not know what to do, because everything Dimas said seemed to be irrefutable.

Reni stared at Dimas' departure, in her hand she held tightly to their engagement ring that Dimas had thrown.

"Wake you up" Reni's father snapped as he pulled her hand violently.

"The child does not know himself!"

Plak....Reni's body immediately staggered instantly, his face immediately felt numb after the burly hand of his father slapped him very hard.

"What's on your mind huh!"

"Based on a brat!"

Plak.... once again the hand of the man who had been guarding and protecting Reni with all his body soul landed perfectly on Reni's face.

Reni's father pulled the child's beautiful hair violently, wanting it to feel like he was banging the child's head on the floor right then and there, or throwing Reni's body on the glass table in the living room, fortunately, the wife still withholds actions that she might regret later.

"Father enough!" mom Reni snapped while removing her husband's hand from Reni's head.

"Reni can explain everything mom's father" said Reni.

"You keep your explanation to yourself" Reni's father gripped the child's jaw "Now lament the bad luck of your own stupidity, I won't lend a hand to help you get up" Reni's father pushed her body so hard that Reni directly onto the sofa, she immediately left Reni.

"Mom.." said Reni with a pleading gaze on the mother, under any circumstances the mother will always defend herself, only that woman had always put on a body when Reni was being wrought by the rigors of life.

"Mom don't know what to do Ren, I'm disappointed with you, from now on take care of your own life" he said as he left Reni who immediately cried loudly.

Reni was desperate, as if there was no hope for her anymore, even the mother who had never left her in any condition before was not willing to even just wipe Reni's back to give a little sense of calm.

Reni immediately grabbed her phone, a name suddenly flashed through her head, someone she believed could help her at this time, someone who became Reni's last hope to be able to get an apology from Dimas, the one that Dimas couldn't possibly throw out when he came, the one that Dimas would listen to whatever he said.

"Hallo Ardi" said Reni softly while holding the pain at the corner of his lips.

...****************...

Ardi instantly canceled all his schedules today, he just got the shocking news from his best friend's future wife, he had to act quickly and meet Dimas before it was too late, he is already very familiar with the nature of Dimas, although it feels impossible he can make Dimas withdraw his words but Ardi will still try to fight the impossibility.

By midnight the plane Ardi was boarding had just landed at the capital's largest airport, after making sure his luggage was not left behind, he went straight out of the airport to find a taxi that would take him to a place where the happiness of the friend would soon be at stake.

Dor....

Ardi banged on Dimas's apartment door very hard as soon as he got there, before long the door opened, the friend standing there with a face still implying anger.

"Who told you?" asked Dimas when they had just sat in the living room.

"Lo would know without me answering" Ardi stared intently at Dimas's eyes "Mom knows?" he asked with a serious face, he knew that Dimas would not dare to say much if he had put on a serious facial expression with a sharp look.

Dimas.

"This time it's a decision you've made"

"Gue knows, but I won't regret it.

"Yes you are right, your heart has hardened so there will be no regrets" Ardi activated his body "But forever you will be shadowed by today's mistakes" he said in a heavy voice.

"Hahaha" Dimas laughed loudly "Lo forgot all this time I was living with all the bad shadows*n like that" he continued with a wry smile.

Ardi nodded, he already knew that it would not be easy to talk to Dimas when conditions like this, let alone the logic of Dimas would suggest that he was in the right position.

"Gue believes Aldo framed Reni, he wants your marriage to be annulled" Ardi tries to explain to Dimas based on Reni's story.

"Perset*n with all that, but I hate betrayal the most" Dimas said.

"The art of not betraying you"

"But he opened the door when Aldo came".

"Aldo who broke it wasn't Reni who opened it"

"Lo's right" Dimas smiled smirk "But Reni's fault he didn't immediately kick Aldo out instead he gave Aldo time to explain why he broke the door".

"Lo knew what would happen if Aldo's explanation was accepted by Reni?" Dimas awaits a response from his best friend.

Ardi nodded, he knew very well what would happen if Aldo could convince Reni.

"As per your mind, they will build a high fortress to prevent me from entering, even just seeing that I will not be able to" cynical Dimas.

Skak..... Ardi fell silent, he could not reply to Dimas' words for the first time.

Huhhhh..... Ardi wastes his breath rough, there is only one last way he hopes to make Dimas attractive, he said.

"Gue will marry Reni if you step down"

A sharp glint suddenly appeared in Dimas's eyes, without waiting for long he directly lunged at Ardi's body, but he did not stop him, Dimas beat Ardi blindly in the face while Ardi remained silent without fighting or trying to defend.

Dimas knew that if Ardi had talked about marriage he would not play, Dimas was not afraid of losing Reni, which Dimas feared was that Reni would suffer after marriage with Ardi.

Dimas stopped his action because he saw no resistance from Ardi, even Ardi just remained silent without trying to resist his attack.

"Can you make a decision?" asked Ardi while wiping the blood coming out of his nose and the corner of his lips.

Dimas just fell silent while staring at the bruised face of his best friend.

Huhhhhh.... Dimas was breathing rough.

"Lo knows what my decision is"

Ardi immediately smiled widely.

"That's the new Dimas I know" Ardi patted Dimas' shoulder "Gue's done all tonight" he said standing up.

"Lo told him (Reni), never say his name (Aldo) again from his mouth, avoid if accidentally met, immediately leave if he forced to talk"

"Ready to do"

Ardi immediately left the Dimas apartment, he will head to Reni's house tonight as well, no matter if the time has shown at two in the morning.

"Who are you?" ketus Reni's father with a face that looks still sleepy when Ardi comes.

"I am Ardi om" replied Ardi softly while holding the pain on his face.

"What are you doing?" cynically.

"Don't kiss my feet after this" he said in his heart with a sly smile.

"I'm a friend of Dimas om" Reni's father immediately stared expectantly as Ardi mentioned Dimas' name.

Ardi smiled smirk seeing the change in expression of Reni's father's face, he then immediately told me about the meeting with Dimas, Reni's father immediately developed a smile on his face.

"Om call Reni first" he said excitedly.

Reni walked straight into the living room, her eyes were already swollen from crying from earlier, even Reni had not closed her eyes at all, the corner of her lips seemed to be broken with the rest of the blood that had dried up, Ardi was convinced that his own father had caused the injury.

"Ardi" said Reni when she reached the living room.

"Why is your face?" reni asked as he sat in front of Ardi.

"Lo dreaded me well, don't cut my words" Ardi ignored Reni's question.

Reni nodded.

"Tomorrow morning you come to the Dimas apartment, you apologize even though I know you are not wrong, you tell everything, do not argue or argue what Dimas said later" ardi said with a stern look.

"Can?"

Reni smiled, she immediately nodded quickly, it was not wrong that she had directly contacted Ardi.

"Thank you so much Ardi, I'll remember your kindness until anytime"

"Basi" said Ardi, smiling, Ardi stood up.

"One message Dimas, don't you ever mention Aldo's name again, you have to avoid if you accidentally meet, you have to go straight away if Aldo forces you to talk".

"Yes" replied Reni excitedly "Gue treat your wounds first" Reni bargained.

"No need" Ardi replied briefly as he walked towards the door.

"My advice you do not have to dance tomorrow, do not treat the wound on your face" said Ardi while smiling cunningly, Reni nodded with a big smile.

In the morning, Reni had been wearing new clothes, her face still looked soaked with dried blood on the corner of her lips, she did not take a shower this morning just washing her face, let him look stupid in Dimas's eyes for following Ardi's silly advice.

"Where?" reni's father asked when he saw Reni coming down from the second floor of his house.

"Reni wants to see Dimas yah" Reni replied

Reni's father and mother who heard that immediately smiled.

"Don't ever make the same mistake if Dimas' son forgives you Ren" Reni's mother said.

Reni nodded, she hugged the body of the woman who had given birth to her tightly.

"Doain Reni Mother, father" Reni looked at the faces of her parents alternately "So that Dimas would forgive Reni" he said sincerely.

"We always pray for you son" Reni's parents said with sincerity and hope in their eyes.

Ting....

Reni stood up agitatedly after pressing the doorbell of the Dimas apartment.

"Who's looking?" asked the man who yesterday crushed Reni's hopes with his words.

"My future husband" Reni replied with a sweet smile.

"Come in" Reni stepped in after Dimas gave way.

"Sitting" Dimas headed to the kitchen after letting Reni sit down.

Dimas came with a P3K box in his hand, he was sitting next to Reni.

"Close" Reni shifted her sitting position to be closer to Dimas.

Slowly and thoughtfully Dimas cleaned the wound on Reni's face, occasionally heard a groan of pain from Reni's mouth, Reni smiled seeing Dimas had treated him well, in his heart said it was not in vain he followed the ridiculous advice of Ardi.

"It's a shame I'm sorry" Reni said after Dimas finished treating the wound on his face.

"Sstttt" Dimas coded Reni not to continue.

"After this I won't let you get hurt! gotit?" Reni nodded while smiling widely.

"Come here" Dimas spread out his arms, Reni immediately inched into Dimas' arms.

"Sorry for making you hurt" Dimas said as he gently stroked Reni's head, Reni nodding in tears.

Reni loosened her embrace, she took something from inside her bag.

"May I put this on your finger again?" lirih Reni while showing their engagement ring that was dumped by Dimas in front of her.

Dimas nodded with a smile, with tears dripping Reni put the ring on Dimas' ring finger.

"I'm sorry, I love you" said Reni, Dimas immediately grabbed Reni's body so tightly.

After a long time hugging Reni was calmer, no more tears came out of her two eyeballs.

"Dear I could ask you?" reni said after they let go of the hug.

"Ask" replied Dimas.

"Overnight Ardi came in with a bruised face"

Dimas immediately smiled smirk hearing the words of his future wife.

"Kok even smiled" Reni said.

"Maybe Ardi was caught bawling in public places, constantly beaten by people"

Dimas replied that made Reni immediately pursed his lips, while Dimas laughed softly at the beautiful face in front of him that was sulking, he pulled Reni's body back into his embrace, he clenched tightly onto the body of the woman who had controlled his heart at this moment.

"I'm sorry I broke my promise not to hurt you in any way" Dimas said in a heart filled with regret.
